I think it would be great. In Flycheck we have to save a copy of the buffer,
and tweak byte-compile-dest-file-function to create a temporary output file,
too. If both of these could go it would be awesome.
I think you could even make byte-compile-buffer return a other buffer with the
ELC contents, and then byte-compile-file could be trivially implemented in
terms of that.
